Triptych with self-portraits

Read #AltText for image description, 137 words.

Three black square pictures in a row on a white background. The pictures show a white shirt, two round white cardboard eyes on each image. The eye to the left has a drawn cross on it and the one to the right, a spiral. The left picture also shows a small white mouth that makes the figure look a little confused, and the image to the right a happy mouth. The picture in the middle has no mouth at all. In the left picture, two black hands are held over the breasts, in the middle one they are held on the breasts, and in the right picture they are grabbing the breasts. All three pictures are made directly in-camera, but cropped as squares and placed upon the white background afterwards, to sit together in a row.

Some thin, pointed vertical fungus growing on wood. They are individual stems, black like coal dust at the base and a little way up the stem, turning to a powdery white
A silky, ivory white round headed fungus in grass. Almost jellyfish like. It has a translucent quality.
Close up of a dark brown oak leak with a number of circular galls with a circular raised centre ... think circular fried eggs of poppers on clothes. They are a pale yellow/off white, with speckles. You can't see them but each raised centre has a larvae inside.

Aurora 💚 ✨

I was on my way to bed when I happend to look out my kitchen window. The sight made me gathered together thermal pants, mittens, hat, wool socks and boots, camera and tripod and hurried out.

It was about minus 2 degrees celcius and the wind 10 m/s in gusts but, perfect for me, of course she was there to say hello, albeit a little tired after the strong northern lights of the last few days.

I thought I had a great idea for a series of self-portraits that came out of a memory from visiting a circus as a kid, but it was so damn hard to pull off so I gave up for tonight.
I think I'll crawl into the cradle instead. Better luck next time, huh?

A woman (unfortunately it is me) in her panties and bra trying to fit in a to small cradle standing on the floor. She has folded her legs and bends her head down towards her chest to make herself smaller, but it didn't seem to help. Her face is turned to the side, so you can't really see her face, the long hair is hiding some of it too.
